RRR (2022)Directed by S S RajamouliI watched this highly anticipated movie yesterday! Here are my #NoSpoilers thoughts and a ballpoint pen sketch based on the movie.I loved the movie! This is not really a movie where one can give spoilers as such, but I've still avoided giving any story details.• I saw it at PVR Next Galleria Punjagutta, in the Telugu and 2D version (I usually prefer 2D over 3D) and in the show I watched, there were English subtitles. My viewing experience was a very good one, the only downside being the front row seats.• The visuals in the movie were amazing, I loved the cinematography (K K Senthil Kumar). Everything was so beautifully lit and composed. The production design and sets were also awesome, you could make out that all the money was on screen. There were so many shots with hundreds of people, it was truly epic. There were multiple big name VFX companies credited, and the effects were great and superior to what we have seen earlier (for example in Baahubali and Baahubali 2), especially the animal effects.• The story was relatively simple but the movie was always engaging, they introduced the inciting incident very early and developed it from there.• I loved the way they developed Ram Charan and NTR's characters and their friendship. I might be in the minority but I liked the first half better as it had more of this character stuff. The acting was excellent especially by the two leads, I really liked how things were exaggerated when they needed to be, yet nuanced.• The action scenes were very well done, with great creativity, wonderful choreography and stunts. The music and sound were great too.• The movie as a whole has several crowd pleasing unrealistic elements. In any other hands it would have come across as overblown and silly but here everything just works.• The movie reminded me of Drunken Master II and Once Upon a Time in China. Those of course are totally different movies and not related to RRR, but there are similar themes running through.• I thoroughly enjoyed RRR overall, it was a wonderful experience and I've added it to my Best Movies of 2022 list.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #rrr#651 / 27-Mar-22
